Lifestyle Habits

At Innovation Health, we understand that lasting results come from mastering healthy habits. Habits are the foundation of your journey to reclaim your health and vitality. By integrating chiropractic and functional medicine into your daily routine, you can achieve an enhanced and vibrant life. Here are some of the habits we encourage and can help you with on your path to reclaim your health:

  1. Morning Mobility Routine
    Start your day with a series of gentle movements and mobility exercises. This helps to hydrate your spine, improve circulation, and set a positive tone for the day.
  2. Hydration Challenge
    Drink water equal to half your body weight in ounces. Proper hydration supports spinal health and overall bodily functions, keeping you energized and focused.
  3. Mindful Movement Breaks
    Incorporate short, mindful movement breaks throughout your day. Whether it’s a quick walk, 5 min of bodyweight core exercises or simple stretching, these breaks can reduce stress and improve posture.
  4. Anti-Inflammatory Diet
    Focus on eating foods that reduce inflammation. Incorporate plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Avoid processed foods and sugars.
  1. Digital Detox Limit your screen time, especially before bed. Excessive screen time can lead to poor posture and sleep disturbances. Try reading a book, meditating, or spending time in nature instead.
  2. Functional Breathing Exercises Practice deep, diaphragmatic breathing. This can help reduce stress, improve oxygen flow, and support better spinal health.
  3. Weekly Wellness Checks Take a few minutes each week to assess how your body feels. Do you have any new pain or symptoms? Addressing problems early with chiropractic and functional medicine can prevent more serious issues.
  4. Community Connection Engage with a health-focused community. Join a local fitness class, a health group, or our monthly Lunch & Learn sessions to stay motivated and informed.
  5. Sleep Sanctity Create a sleep-friendly environment. Invest in a good mattress, use a supportive pillow, and establish a relaxing bedtime routine to ensure quality rest.
  6. Posture Patrol Be mindful of your posture throughout the day. Use reminders to sit up straight and align your head with your spine. By integrating these lifestyle habits into your daily routine, you can support your chiropractic and functional medicine treatments, leading to lasting health improvements.
